I enjoyed parts of this book but felt like it dragged in the beginning and end. I did listen to the audiobook and did not enjoy the Suling narrator. I thought the Suling chapters were compelling and the Gemma chapters lacked. I also thought some of the relationships felt shallow or underdeveloped. I felt like the incidents in the middle created drama and intrigue that the ending didn't quite deliver on.
